The real excuse is that the club is never going to put itself in that position. It truly would be sheer suicide for the CLUB. Those who are over-focusing on such an idea need to stop and redirect your thoughts to another option. It is like paradise--a lovely idea--but could never happen. If you want to see a *club* with breeders who fully test and follow the heart protocol, lobby for a 2-tier registration system with CKCSC. They can add a new category to Foreign, Associate and Regular members and offer a slightly different type of registration certificate from those breeders who fully test and follow the protocol. Make it *desirable* to be in this group and slowly others will follow. The AKC is already doing that to some extent. They have their CHIC program. Every breed entered into it has a health protocol. Dogs who meet that protocol are recognized as so. I sure hope Cavaliers become one of the breeds soon!
